← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when vocal mimicry compromises mating signals?
A)Reproductive isolation between bird populations.✓
B)Enhanced mate selection via auditory cues.
C)Increased vocalization production costs.
D)Elevated predator avoidance capability results.
💡 Explanation
Vocal mimicry disrupts species recognition through adaptive divergence; therefore, reproductive isolation increases because mate recognition fails. This is rather than enhanced mate selection because females misinterpret or can't filter deceptive calls, further creating new diverging breeding populations.
